You do know that 2 weeks before the release date Amazon's blu-ray discs are like $20 at the most. I got Coraline BD in July for only $19.49 and Watchmen BD for $19.99 at Amazon. I'm telling you Amazon is like Blu-ray heaven. Shoot, I'm getting the Transformers Blu-ray double pack, which is only $39.99 on Amazon.

It's a waste because most people who can use a computer can rip a DVD movie to their computer. You might as well just buy it and rip it, or buy it then download it if you can't do that. Its just one more disc thrown into so many DVDs, it's more the just a small waste of plastic. Also it makes them able to throw in "2 disc" to alot of movies and not actually include anything extra but a stupid digital copy.

I wish people would quit griping about the digital copies. I can't be the only one who saves them to my laptop, can I? Sure it's a waste of disc materials, but I absolutely love having movies with me on campus, when I'm bored at my parents', or when I'm too lazy to get out of bed. I only buy Blu-ray now, and being able to watch a movie I own away from home is great since my MacBook doesn't have a Blu-ray drive. My only gripe is the additional disc. Some of my movies have a code that requires no disc to download off iTunes. They really should switch to that method so as not to waste so much material just to use one time.

Stepping off the soap-box now...

I didn't get a chance to see this, but I will definitely add this to my Net-Flix and get it the day it comes out.

Also I'm surprised Sony isn't including the 3-D, it was the main selling point of the film after all. I'm even more surprised their releasing this in the first week of January rather than December. This would be more prosperous in sales if they released it before Christmas. Yet Sony are being idiots and releasing it in the first week of January, where sales are DEAD. Albeit, I do like the artwork and the 3-disc combo. Still, it's a pass. I don't think they are including 3D due to the fact that whilst 3D in the cinemas has improved dramatically, the home systems are quite incompatable with them. Why ruin a good film with Red and Blue glasses that change the colours?

Why do they insist on including digital copies with blu-rays or dvds ? No one uses them. Why put a copy of a movie on a tiny little ipod or a PSP or whatever, when you could easily watch the dvd, or blu-ray, an a big tv or even a portable dvd player ? Just doesn't make sense.

So, when it says the other additions will include "the 1-disk DVD," does that mean they all are including the full screen version because full screen is just pointless. Also, why does Blu-Ray even bother making Digital Copies anymore, most DVDs were smart & got rid of them.
